Cellulite-free Sarah Jessica Parker proves she can still pull off a tiny minidress at 46

By DEBBIE EMERY

All leg: Sarah Jessica Parker, 46, put her best foot forward in a mini-dress and heels in New York yesterday


All that walking around New York has paid off for Sarah Jessica Parker.

The actress proved that hitting the pavement in high heels is the best leg-toner a woman can do as she stepped out in a super-short mini-dress and high-heeled ankle boots this morning.

The busy mother-of-three stopped traffic yesterday as she stepped out in a super-short mini-dress and high-heeled ankle boots in her West Village neigbourhood.

Her pseudonym Carrie Bradshaw refuses to let age affect her impeccable style and the Sex And The City star clearly follows in the footsteps of the role that made her famous.

'I’m ageing all the time. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?' she told People magazine about her healthy approach to ageing gracefully.



Fabulous at 46: The ageless actress is still as stylish as her Sex &The City character, Carrie Bradshaw, despite playing the part for 13 years


Fortunately her new job hasn't kept her away from acting. Parker began her career as a child actress in the television series Square Pegs and has not slowed down since.

She has two films due out later this year - I Don't Know How She Does It, in which she aptly plays a Boston hedge fund manager with two young children, and New Year's Eve, a ensemble comedy with Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Robert de Niro and Zac Efron.

Angelina Jolie confirms new tattoo is a tribute to Brad Pitt as she arrives in Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Tribute: Angelina Jolie, pictured at a photocall for Kung Fu Panda 2 in Cannes today, has confirmed her latest tattoo is an ode to partner Brad Pitt


Angelina Jolie has finally put an end to mounting speculation relating to her latest latitude and longitude arm tattoo.

When asked about the new etching in an interview with Extra today, the obviously annoyed mother-of-six confirmed that the co-ordinates are a tribute to long-time partner Brad Pitt.

In a rather snappy retort, the 35-year-old was irritated when an interviewer asked whether it related to a possible new adoption.


C'est chic: Angelina looked happier in Cannes today than when she was asked about the tattoo during a serious interview to promote her work as a UN ambassador


'Well, if they know that it's latitude and longitude they would have figured out quickly that it was Brad's birthplace,' she snapped.

'It doesn't take much investigation to figure that one out. The coordinates are Shawnee, Oklahoma.'

In the interview, conducted at the Cannes Film Festival, where the actress is currently promoting her new movie Kung Fu Panda 2, Angelina also ruled out another adoption in the near future, saying it wasn't a possibility, 'at this time'.


Needled: She confirmed that the ink, first seen here when she toured a Tunisian refugee camp last month, are the coordinates for Pitt's birth place


She also explained that Kung Fu Panda 2 'deals with family and adoption,' and that initially she was nervous about how her mix of biological and adopted children would deal with 'such a heavy issue'.

But she said she was relieved with their reaction to the film and said they all discussed it.

'The kids loved it!' They laughed out loud, hysterical,' she said.



Tribute: Another line of the latitude and longitude representing Shawnee, Oklahoma, Brad's place of birth have been added to Angelina's arm, left, and, seen right in December, with just six lines before for the children's birthplaces


'We talk very openly in our house. Orphanage and birth parents are happy words in our house.'

Speculation ran rife about Angelina's seventh line of co-ordinates signifying the birthplaces of her six children, added as recently as a few months ago.

In photos, the full co-ordinates could not clearly be made out, and the inking led to speculation - raising the question whether The Tourist star had another adoption in the process.

Celebrity website Wonderwall asserted that the latest one, based on the numbers that can be made out, points to Algeria.


Playful: The actress said her brood 'loved' the film and 'laughed out loud, hysterical'


Family film: Kung Fu Panda 2 'deals with family and adoption,' said Angelina, pictured with co-stars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman


However, in February the actress denied reports she was planning to expand her brood.
Other reports suggested the numerics referred to the latitude and longitude of Brad's birth place.

U.S. publication In Touch claimed to have inside knowledge that the marking was actually a tribute to Brad, 47.

A source revealed: 'She got the seventh line right around the time she and Brad moved the kids back to LA.


World famous: Angelina Jolie and Jack Black are at the Cannes Film Festival promoting the sequel to their film Kung Fu Panda


'After dragging their kids around the world, Angelina has finally agreed to Brad’s long-standing request to settle down.

'But in return, she demanded a permanent commitment — the tattoo, which signifies family unity.'

The artwork was first seen when Jolie toured a refugee camp last month on the Tunisian-Libyan border.

She was there in her capacity as a UN goodwill ambassador to appeal for aid for the thousands fleeing war-torn Libya.


Family day out: Brad and Angelina took their brood of six out in New Orleans in March, from left Vivienne, Shiloh, Knox, Zahara, Pax and Maddox


The Oscar-winning actress was pictured on the red carpet in December at the Spanish premiere of The Tourist with just six lines of co-ordinates.

Each one refers to the respective birthplaces of her children - Maddox, aged nine (Cambodia), Pax, seven (Vietnam), Zahara, six (Ethiopia), Shiloh, four (Namibia), and two-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox (France).

Angelina has around 14 known tattoos. Among them is a Latin proverb, 'quod me nutrit me destruit' meaning 'what nourishes me destroys me' plus a famous quote from Tennessee Williams, 'A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages'.

She also has the title of a song by The Clash, 'Know Your Rights' on the nape of her neck plus a 12in by 8in tiger lower down on her back.

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai keeps it simple in pretty brown dress at Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Keeping it simple: Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai looked pretty in a brown dress and black heels at a photocall in Cannes yesterday


It must be difficult having to come up with outfits for every single occasion ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.

So Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai can be forgiven for going for a plain outfit as she attended a photocall for the festival yesterday.

However, while Aishwarya's dress was absent of any glamour, it flattered her lithe figure and complemented her brunette hair.


Beautiful: Aishwarya is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses in the world


The 37-year-old actress teamed the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals as she posed on the dock.

Aishwarya, who is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses, was at Cannes to announce she would be signing on for a new project - a tale of a fictional Bollywood star entitled Heroine.

Asked if the film would be at all autobiographical, Aishwarya replied: 'That's what the viewer will probably be searching for, but very honestly, as an actor, it's your professional responsibility to give to your characters with absolute commitment.


Red carpet glamour: Aishwarya chose a stunning asymmetric dress for the opening night of Cannes earlier this week


Aishwarya posed at the photocall with director Bhandarkar and producer Ronnie Screwvala.

The actress has been keeping busy during the Cannes Film Festival, and also made an appearance at the opening night ceremony and screening of Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris looking stunning in a nude asymmetric beaded gown.

A release date for Heroine has yet to be announced, but production is due to commence in June.

Cannes you believe what she's wearing now? Vampish Cheryl Cole turns heads in a plunging white dress

By SARAH BULL and LIZ THOMAS

The lady is a vamp: Cheryl Cole turned heads as she arrived at the Habernus Papam premiere during the Cannes Film Festival wearing a plunging white Stephane Rolland dress


She is photographed everywhere she goes, so Cheryl Cole has to ensure she pulls out all the stops when she attends a red carpet event.

And the 27-year-old star certainly didn't disappoint as she arrived at the premiere of Habernus Papam at the Cannes Film Festival tonight wearing a plunging white Stephane Rolland dress.

The outfit left very little to the imagination, but Cheryl managed to look both sexy and elegant in the white creation.


Revealing: The dress left very little to the imagination, but Cheryl succeeded in looking sexy and elegant


Cheryl teamed the dress with an unusual belt, which featured what appeared to be two gold pears on the front, and gold clutch bag.

The X Factor USA star also opted for a different look with her hair and make-up, going for a slicked-back ponytail and dark plum-coloured lipstick.

The choice was a sharp contrast to Cheryl's usual appearance of voluminous hair and fresh-faced make-up.


Vampish: Cheryl's slicked back hair and dark plum lips were in sharp contrast to her usual style


A source said: ‘Simon told her he didn’t love her orange top and purple flares - he said he had seen her look far more glamorous.

'He’s really keen for her to boost her international profile in Cannes and has urged her to look fantastic.'

Cheryl appeared poised and confident as she posed for photographers on the red carpet at the premiere.

She is also expected to make an appearance at a party hosted by L'Oreal, the cosmetics company of which she is the face, later this evening.



Perfect from every angle: Cheryl looked absolutely stunning in the white creation, which featured draping to the front and back


It's the second year running Cheryl has made an appearance at Cannes.

Last year, she again managed to hit the headlines when she arrived wearing a cutaway Versace dress to perform a set at the party during the film festival.


Starlet: Cheryl's arrival sent the photographers into a mad panic, with them all attempting to get the best shot


French haute couturier Stephane Rolland says he likes the idea of dressing ‘a woman with many faces’. Just as well, as we’ve certainly seen two different sides to our Cheryl this week.

This floor-length white gown with a puddle train and plunging V-neck (we can only imagine the amount of tape being used to keep it in place and avoid a Judy Finnigan-style wardrobe malfunction) is described simply as ‘very expensive’ by one of Rolland’s spokesmen, who said the dress was made to order especially for Cheryl.


Poised: Cheryl teamed the white dress with an unusual gold belt and matching clutch box bag


What's my best angle? Cheryl is a lone figure in a sea of photographers in this aerial shot of the premiere


What a difference: Cheryl's slicked back hair and plum lips was in sharp contrast to the voluminous look she preferred at the first day of the X Factor auditions earlier this month

'Make love to that microphone': Lady Gaga pushes American Idol contestants to their theatrical best

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Theatrical: Lady Gaga tutored the four remaining American Idol contestants, advising them to add a touch of theatre to their performance


Lady Gaga is not known for her restrained approach to performing - whether it be emerging from an egg or dousing herself with blood onstage.

So perhaps she was just what American Idol needed to liven it up as the final four contestants performed last night.

The eccentric pop superstar pushed the Fox singing competition's finalists to add theatrics to their renditions of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller songs.


Intimidating? Gaga tutors the religious country singer Scotty McCreery, who kissed his crucifix when she told him to act like the microphone was his girlfriend


Her advice that Scotty McCreery should pretend that the microphone is his girlfriend prompted the deep-voiced 17-year-old country crooner to kiss the cross around his neck.

'You've got to get right in the center of that hot dog,' she advised the conservative singer.


Ready for super stardom: McCreery received plaudits from the judges for his performance


Lady Gaga's steamy direction didn't seem to deter McCreery, who impressed the judges with both his rollicking take on The Coasters' Young Blood and heartfelt rendition of Alan Jackson's Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) during the beginning of Wednesday's episode when the finalists were tasked with performing inspirational tunes.

'You're ready for superstardom, and I hope you make it,' Randy Jackson told McCreery afterward.


Popular: The singer has the audience on their feet


Lauren Alaina also seemed poised for greatness with her inspirational ballad of Martina McBride's Anyway, but she wasn't ready to proclaim that she was 'evil,' as noted in the lyrics to Elvis Presley's Trouble, until she received some motivation from Lady Gaga, who directed the 16-year-old singer to sing the ditty in character.

'When I was 16, I was way too weird to be on American Idol,' Lady Gaga admitted.
The result was apparently delicious, with Steven Tyler noting that Alaina 'delivers a song like a blue plate special.'


Intense: Gaga stares at Lauren Alaina as she performs her version of Elvis' Trouble



What an outfit: Lauren Alaina and the other contestants performed songs by writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller


Haley Reinhart, 20, wasn't quite as yummy.

The judges bickered about her interpretation of Michael Jackson's Earth Song.
Tyler was a fan, but Jackson and Jennifer Lopez didn't eat it up.

'I felt like you were just screaming,' Jackson said over a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Reinhart returned with a vengeance - and a string orchestra - with Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing).


Taking her advice: Gaga tutors Hayley Reinhart, who then had her stand-out performance of the season


Two different sides: Hayley sang 'Earth Song' by Michael Jackson then Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing)


Lady Gaga directed her to let out a dramatic exhale in the middle of the song.

The judges were floored. Jackson dubbed it 'her moment' of the night, and Tyler informed her that she 'just Reinharted yourself into the middle of next week.'

'That was amazing,' said Lopez. 'One of the best performances of the year.'

James Durbin, the wailing 22-year-old rocker, opened the show clad in tails with Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and closed it down with a metal-tinged take on The Clovers' Love Potion No 9.


Getting into it: Gaga and James Durbin share a love of performance


Hands on: Gaga shows James how to move


Jackson, who formerly played bass with Journey, said Durbin was 'paying homage to my friends,' and Tyler attested that he 'did it right.'

'You can sing anything,' Lopez told Durbin after Love Potion No. 9.
One of the four finalists will be eliminated tomorrow night.

On the road again: After his car crash David Beckham treats the boys to ice cream

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Frozen treat: David Beckham takes sons Romeo and Cruz and the family dog Coco to Pinkberry in Studio City for frozen yoghurt


His 'lucky escape' last week from a multi-car collision on a busy Los Angeles freeway fortunately hasn't scared off David Beckham from getting behind the wheel.

The footballer was pictured taking two of his sons, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, out for frozen yoghurt in Studio City, California yesterday.

A few hours later he chauffeured his wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills.


Beckham wears his favourite black beanie for the trip to Pinkberry. Eldest son Brooklyn didn't join the boys' outing


The family dog Coco joined Beckham and the boys for the trip to Pinkberry, where they often stop off for a frozen treat.

Eldest son Brooklyn, who was with Beckham when the accident occurred on Friday, did not join the outing.


Date night: Beckham later drove his pregnant wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills


Mrs Beckham sat in the back seat while her husband drove to Matsuhisa - part of the Nobu franchise.

The collision happened after a gold Mitsubishi stalled in the fast lane due to mechanical problems, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.

She said: 'Yesterday at approximately 9.13am Beckham was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard.'

She added: 'The biggest commotion was when people realised it was David Beckham.'

‘David’s car was taken away from the scene by a tow truck. It had lost a front bumper in the collision.’

Cheryl Cole makes a fashion faux pas in unflattering grey tracksuit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Is that you, Cheryl? Ms Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in a grey tracksuit as she flew back to the UK


She was obviously thinking she'd go for comfort ahead of her long-haul flight back to the UK.

But Cheryl Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in an unflattering grey tracksuit as she left the U.S. and headed back to London.

The 27-year-old singer hid her petite frame in the unattractive zip top and jogging bottoms combination.


Not a good look: Cheryl teamed the tracksuit with a pair of heeled boots


And the only hint of Cheryl's now-renowned sense of style came with the black boots she teamed the outfit with, as well as her designer white handbag.

But Cheryl seemed happy enough with her outfit, keeping her head down but managing a smile for photographers as she made her way through Los Angeles' LAX Airport.


In disguise: Cheryl tried to go incognito in a pair of huge sunglasses


And it's no wonder the singer is smiling, as she has won rave reviews already for her part on X Factor USA.

Cheryl flew out to LA the day after it was announced that she would be joining the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and LA Reid.


Can't you see anything? Cheryl, who was wearing dark sunglasses, is guided through the airport


Glamour girl: Cheryl's dressed-down look was in sharp contrast to her appearance at the X Factor USA auditions last week


And while Cheryl's involvement in the show has already been a success, she met criticism from some viewers when she sat next to Simon on the panel - the seat usually reserved for Paula Abdul.

An insider told MailOnline: 'The fans are angry because Cheryl is sitting next to simon.

'They call Paula and Simon "Saula" and think that Cheryl is splitting them up.'

Emma Watson shows why she was named world's best-dressed woman

By SARAH BULL

Spellbinding: Emma Watson looked stunning in a monochrome dress as she left the Ritz Hotel in Paris


She was named the world's best-dressed woman earlier this month, and it's not hard to see why.

Emma Watson showed exactly why she beat stars including Cheryl Cole and Kate Moss to the top of Glamour magazine's survey as she stepped out in Paris yesterday showing off her enviable figure in a frilly minidress.

The 21-year-old actress looked stunning in the monochrome dress, which she teamed with slicked back hair and a pair of sky-high heels while leaving the Ritz Hotel in Paris.


Fashionista: Emma showed off her enviable figure in the flirty outfit, which she teamed with on-trend slicked back hair


Emma has worked hard to transform herself from innocent young actress into a world-famous fashionista, but her status was secured earlier this year when she won a job with cosmetics house
Lancôme.

In a statement released by Lancôme, Emma said: 'Being a Lancôme ambassadress today is an immense pleasure and a great honour.

'For me, Lancôme is an authentic brand. It reflects elegance, class and style.'


Who's your friend? Emma shared a joke with one of the hotel staff as she headed out for the evening


In February, she was handed the Elle Style Icon award by Vivienne Westwood, who admitted to having no idea who the actress was.

Watson also launched an eco-friendly collection with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti, a line called Pure Threads by Emma Watson.

J-Low indeed! Jennifer Lopez dazzles in revealing fairy dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Looking all white: Jennifer Lopez slips into a flattering white dress for her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno


After a disastrous chart reception last year, the pressure is high for Jennifer Lopez to perform with the release of her new album.

Which is perhaps why the pop diva opted for a rather attention-grabbing dress as she continued to promote her seventh LP, Love?

The 41-year-old American Idol judge slipped into a revealing, low-cut white fairy dress for her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night.


Promotional blitz: The singer was plugging her album Love? which is not expected to chart particularly highly in the U.S. tomorrow


While her album has already bagged No.6 in the UK this weekend, the singer is yet to chart on the American Billboard 200 album chart, which is revealed on Tuesday.

And according to early indications, the singer is only expected to shift 60,000 copies this week in the U.S. - a lacklustre number for the American market.

If she got closer to the 250,000 mark she could well secure herself a No.1 - but her current sales are nothing to sing about.


Brave face: The American Idol judge chats with host Leno


Her album Love? already has a troubled history.

It was originally due for release in January 2010. But when her lead single Louboutins flopped, Lopez and Sony Music parted ways.

J-Lo later signed with Def Jam, which saw Love resurrected.

The new lead hit, On The Floor, was received well, having shifted around 1.6m downloads.

It secured the No.1 spot in the British charts and No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100.


Blast from the past: J-Lo squealed with embarrassment as she was forced to swatch herself in her first ever dancing job in 1991


During the interview with Leno, J-Lo was left red faced as she was forced to swatch herself in footage of her first ever dancing job.

The singer buried her face in her hands and screamed as Jay Leno played footage of her as a back-up dancer to New Kids on the Block.

The footage was from the American Music Awards in 1991 and featured Lopez dancing enthusiastically behind the band.
